Alterations Checklist
CHECKLIST FOR FIRST FITTING
WEDDING SHOES
You’ll need to bring the shoes you plan to wear so the dress can be hemmed to the correct length. Sometimes people bring multiple pairs and we can help you choose a style during the appointment.
UNDERGARMENTS OR SHAPEWEAR
Most dresses have built-in cups, so a bra is usually not necessary. We also offer double-sided sticky cups (Bombas) for purchase. Bring the underwear you are planning on using the day off. Try to match your shapewear/underwear as closely to your skin tone as possible.
ACCESSORIES
We also sell/make accessories. Most simple veils can be made in house during alterations with matching fabric and custom lengths. We can try on veils at the fitting.

Please check out our alterations price list to get more information about alterations packages.
BOOK YOUR FOLLOW-UP FITTING AND PICKUP APPOINTMENT
Follow up fitting should be 1 month before the wedding and be a time that you can have other people learn how to put you in the dress and do the bustle.
THINK ABOUT ANY EXTRAS
Would you like any special additions, such as a heart sewn into the dress using sentimental fabric or a patch with a meaningful saying? We offer embroidery services for these custom touches.
